Cancer Misdiagnosis

Massachusetts Cancer Misdiagnosis Attorneys, Personal Injury Lawyers – Gilman Law LLP

Cancer medical malpractice cases arise when a health care provider fails to properly identify or diagnose a malignant tumor or commence treatment. Unfortunately, with most insurance carriers you are required to first visit your primary health care physician before any referral to a specialist can take place. Your primary health care physician is a general practicioner and may fail to detect symptoms or act on a specific complaint. Given the progressive nature of many types of cancers, failure to make a timely referral or order preliminary diagnostic testing could have a significant impact on the patient’s health.
